How to Move References

Problem

Sometimes, you may want to move a specific reference (or set of references) from one location to another. For example, you might have a script or quest that points to a marker, and you want to move that marker to a different cell without breaking anything.

Cut/Paste and Copy/Paste don't work well in this situation, since the Paste process creates a duplicate of the content on the clipboard. To actually move the reference, you need to use the Move Render process.

Solution

1. Select the reference(s) you want to move.
2. Copy them (CTRL+C).
3. Find the location you want to move them to.
4a. Move them (CTRL+M).
4b. Move them, and preserve their X/Y/Z coordinates (CTRL+SHIFT+M).
5. Confirm that you want to move the references.

The references you copied should now be in the new location.

If you used CTRL+M you'll need to drag the references into their final positions.

Exceptions

Not all item types will work properly with this process. These item types are listed below:

• Any item in the MovableStatic category.
• Any MiscItem such as gold, buckets, baskets, etc. If it is moveable by the player, it won't work.
• Light emission sources such as the invisible bulbs or static wall torches.
• Any item in the Potion category. This also includes all food items.
• Any item in the Ingredient category.
• Some references referenced by scripts. This is not consistent, so you'll need to test these individually.
